A return of seasonal raptors

October 10, 2015 by Tony Leave a Comment

Out for a drive after work yesterday and a sign of the changing seasons. I saw my first Ferruginous Hawks in the area since this past spring as well as a good looking juvenile Bald Eagle.

The Dark Morph Ferruginous is a bit of a ‘white whale’ for me as he / she tormented me last year, never allowing me a great shot of it. Today it at least sat for a bit but the harsh early afternoon light was far from ideal – plus I totally blew its launch. 🙁

The juvy Bald Eagle was one of three I saw but the only one of them to get close.
